Hello!
I have a little correction for the attacks on U 1062 on your website.
According to your website the boat was attacked by planes on 21.12.1943 while being escorted by minesweeper M 403.
But according to the war diary of the german headquarter Norway (Marineoberkommando Norwegen) the attack took place on 22.12.1943 (many other websites use this date, too) and the escorting minesweeper was M 489.
M 403 (25th minesweeping flottilla) was in harbor was in harbor due to an engine defect from 20.-23.12.1943 and went to sea to readjust the degaussing equipment on 24.12.1943.
If needed, I can give you a translation of the texts.
Sadly I am lacking the war diary of the 30th minesweeping flottilla (which M 489 belonged to) at the moment.
